Links to dark themed dialer, contacts, and messaging
Instructions on installation
Followed this and it worked! I have not tested everything, but dialing out, receiving calls, getting messages and sending messages are all ok. Someone else who tested this method on Verizon mentioned sending pics via messaging was not working, but I did not personally test that.
Also, when I renamed dialer.apk in system/app, my phone was freaking out every two seconds while searching for signal. Made things difficult. I'm guessing if you're in airplane mode, that won't happen.
MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACK UP OF ALL THE FILES BEING REPLACED. This can't be stressed enough. Either back up the files, or make a nandroid backup.

Sending MMS is the only thing I see not working, you can still receive them though. I also have GoSMS and sending MMS through that works fine. Lame workaround but nice to have the dark theme.

works well, but for me, the dialer bottom buttons didn't really change (the bottom row of buttons, voice command, call button, and back button). Very out of place

Yea I don't like the bottom as well. I also noticed that the group message settings isn't there. On the stock version when you get a group message you have 2 tabs at the bottom. One says "Group conversation" and the other says "Individual messages". You could either respond to all or just the one person. I liked that a lot, but this dark version doesn't have that.

Looking at the source thread, it appears that someone would need to make verizon specific customizations to fix the bottom buttons. Unfortunately that's beyong my abilities.

i cant believe that no one has done an international version dialer yet. seems like a lot of devs must like the white dialer
You guys can grab the international dark dialer and contacts from the ATT themes section. Nottach ported it over for his Mint jelly rom. You can also grab it from shostocks rom in the rom section.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.
4.2.2
Do you have a link ? I did a search for his username in the ATT Themes section and only 1 thread came up. Thanks.

I got that too today when I was trying to send a pic to another TMO subscriber, I send it to ATT and it went through fine, try resending to TMO, and get the error.
Just tried resending it, and the error. I compiled a new MMS with the same pic to the same subscriber and it went through
I am having this same issue. When ever I try to send an mms I get that error. I am running one of masters 2.2 roms, but I have tried other 2.2 roms and I have gotten this same error. But when I flash back to my nandroid of a 2.1 rom the error goes away.

FIXED that Error on my phone
NEVERMIND: ONLY WORKED BRIEFLY THAN BACK TO SAME PROBLEM.....
I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.
I just flashed today the axura 2.0.5, I am also having this same issue.
But this does not happen if the txt message has no picture attachment.
This is the only issue I have with the axura rom
I think I will have to go back to 2.1 if I can find a fix to this issue
The only way I have found to send an mms is to actually type the phone number I am sending it to. If I try to send an mms to one of my contacts then I get the error message. It is pretty anoying
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ditto axura 2.0.5. No MMS. Have tried every answer I could find but NG. Hope there is a fix soon.
***NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. f**K IT i GIVE UP. Just going to have to wait for a better ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.
Below is for informational use only as it it still did not fix issue:
I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with (android 2.2) & Obsidian in that release version. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.
You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.
Error in server response - axura ROM
Also using Axura 2.0.5
I been trying all kinds of get around. I nstalled handsent app , using a different mms app doesn't fix the issue. It worked only once , then error in server response again!
tried typing the tel number to send the mms, still error, very annoying.
And if I go back to 2.1 I can send out mms
Feelx77,
if you can post your solution with an installation procedure , alot of us will be happy
Heres the AOSP MMS that Team Whiskey had in their Obsidian V3 ROM. I pulled it and changed the default icon to the touchwiz icon.
As in my previous post one page back, it is useable and it looks like it sends your pictures but it really doesn't either for me. My friends only received the text that is included when I attached a picture. This mms.apk did not give me any errors, it just did not really send any pictures. Only looks like it does but no one receives them. If anything new comes to mind I will post later for everyone.
So, I just put back the regular MMS.apk on my phone for now. Out of ideas. Just have to wait to see if developers find a solution or fix it in new upcoming ROM releases or next froyo build.
Posting the file below if anyone wants to experiment with it. Installation instructions are in my previous post one page back.
Add area code to fix?
Master who made the ROM hnted how to fix the issue "he said: add the area code" I am posting the link to what he said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468&page=218
read post #2172
I tried to read back but I can not find the original post stating how to fix the problem by adding the area code.
I don't understand what he means by adding the area code. Maybe someone can comment on this fix.
FYI
Yeah I've heard making sure you have the area code or adding "1" in front of number. Those ideas work if your typing in a number to picture text but if I select a contact saved on the phone thats when it errors.
Other suggested moving contacts over to SIM card and than it works but that defeats the luxury of having a smart phone if I cant keep the contacts on my phone with each contacts extra details that cant be saved to SIM cards.
So, I know I CAN picture text manually for each message I send but I am trying to find a natural way to send mms picture messages easily by selecting any contact in my drop down list that has been saved to the phone without trickery....just like it did exactly with eclair 2.1 before. Ya' know
I read back thru the post, it was discuss to add the area code. Obviously I add the area code because my parents lives in ohio and I am live in california. I tried the following to no success:
1-000-000-0000
000-000-0000
(000)000-0000
1 (000) 000-0000
Is there someone who can tell me how to retrieve the error log, so that I can send it to master for review
It is 10:30pm , I am in communication with master right now, about this issue. He gave me things I can try, but none of them has fixed the issue.
I will let you guys know once, I get a good fix to the issue.
The ROM is great, except for this hitch,
I gave up on this a month a go. I switched to the Handcent mms client. I keep checking to see if the stock client works as I don't want two mms.
I also about to give up on the axura 2.0.5 , the only thing is that the skype works because it based on the 2.2 froyo .
Based on the axura 2.0.5 thread that I read, master believes that there is no problem.
Based on this thread , there is a number of users with this issue. It maybe a fraction of the users, but it's real.
I've ask master, how to pull out the log, so that I can send it to him for analysis.

It just amazes me that only some of you have the issue.
Keep in mind, it isn't only my ROM.
If you want a fix for it right this second then you can install the CM6 MMS
Hello Master,
Thanks for responding.
I really like your ROM,
Hopefully you will find a fix for it, it maybe in the form of a patch.
Do you stilll want me to send you a log, just let me know how to do this, and I will send it to you immediately.
Thank you again for this great ROM
Is there a way to use an old dailer app on the newer 2.2 roms? It's rediculous how the call logs shows texts and there isnt even an option to show only calls. texts shouldnt be there. Its the call log not the messaging app
Also would using a different app remove the current black/blue theme in the app?

I have been wondering about this for a while also... have not looked in to it tho.
im trying to figure out why i lost my smile face button in sms mode.
Im pretty sureall that has to be done is take the phone.apk out of a 2.1 rom, remove the phone apk form the rom your using and then put the one from the stock rom in.
how ever i have been having a hell of a time figuring out how to even do this ha.
hit me up with a PM if you get this done or have any ideas?
I was wondering about this too. I used call logs fairly often in 2.1 but now its practically pointless.
I'm using 2.2 (Macnut R12) and my call logs only show calls, no texts.

Hi folks,
Just wondered if someone has come across this bug bear of mine and found a solution to it.
I use handcent for my messages instead of the built in stock message app but I have noticed that despite going into settings and telling the stock app NOT to retrieve messages and told handcent TO retrieve messages that although I only get a handcent notification when a message is received that the reality is that both apps have the messages sent to me.
Now this is a bug bear as I have handcent protected from prying eyes for my messages but cant do the same with the stock app. If anything I would prefer to remove the stock app altogether.
Has anyone come across this as well and found a solution?
Cheers in advance.
I noticed yesterday the same thing. It was seemed to be after last handcent update. I didn't look for a solution yet.

Cheers for sharing, I thought I was missing some option or something as never noticed the problem before. I stupidly removed the messages from the stock app thinking my handcent ones would be ok.....nope they went and were wiped also
Not sure if this again is something to do with the update or if thats normal to happen.
What a bugger!
Now I checked handcent settings. I was quite surprised - there's no option "use as default (or something similar) anymore! After update. That explains the problem, I guess.
I have been using handcent for more than a year now, and I always see the sms in both apps..., I do not think this is a bug. But you can remove the MMS.APK in the system folder if you have root, and that would fix your problem. But... when I did this in my Milestone it have some problems with the sms, the notifications where delayed... you get the screen popup notification and 5 or 10 seconds later the sound... but this was for the Milestone 1, you can move the spk and save it as backup and test it.
I have emailed them asking about it, if I hear anything I will put it up.....crazy though really they have done this :-(

Nope, that's a real bug. I've just rolled back on 3.9.5 revision (I have it in Titanium backup) - the problem has gone! I have "Default messaging app" in the Settings again!

Surely. That was the issue.
Both apps use the same SMS/MMS database created by android. I know of no other app that uses it's own. Your only option is to root and remove the messaging.apk from /system/app/

Just had a look on my titanium backup and its currently running version 3.9.8 and I can only roll back as far as 3.9.7.
If you roll back do you loose your current messages? And do you know of hand if rolling back to 3.9.7 will benefit?

So the option of only letting handcent retrieve messages must in a way block the stock message app from retrieving them, though the stock app is there in the background?
As said earlier, didnt have the problem before of both retrieving messages and as pointed out the recent update may be reason

No, all my messages still with me I don't know about 3.9.7. Just try to restore the app with data. Nothing to lose.
Well I have rolled back and no data was lost, phew! However I have chosen the option from the menu stating disable stock and allow handcent to be default and still the same :-(
Maybe this problem has been for the last 2 updates.
Something else I noticed, the led no longer seems to flash. Not sure if this is something related to custom rom on lite'ning or not. Did you also encounter this? Would it be possible to install an older version of handcent from somewhere do you think?

If it doesnt help just go into standard SMS app setting - on the bottom - uncheck Status Bar Notifications.

Hi fella,
Thanks for the Russian version? lol? Eh lol? Anyhow went ahead and installed it via dropbox and though it said it was overwriting the previous version nothing changed and when looking still seems to be version 3.9.7.
Ref to status bar notifications, I only get one notification which is via handcent, thats fine, no problems there, just this annoying point of duplicate messages.
Ref LED, I meant the blinking light when messages come through, usually you can choose between colours etc, but even when deciding what colour of notification I want blinking I never see it lol!
Cant get over your Russian file!

Well took the plunge and used titanium back up application and simply uninstalled the the stock message app and now its gone only have handcent as the main app, so that suits me.
I checked on a another s2 that has stock rom and running handcent and that flashy reminder led light option although selected doesnt work, so it would strengthen that the s2 has no led at the front of the phone like the x10....how odd.
Oh. I'm sorry, I tapped on next file when was sending it, I have sent you a language pack. You can remove it through Appllication Management. It names "Handcent SMS Russian Language".
Now I'm attaching the correct original apk 3.9.5. I'm terribly sorry!
lol, its fine fella, don't worry about it....was quite funny really lol!

Hey guys, I downloaded the Jelly Beans mod and got the 4th release, flashed it perfectly and everything works perfectly. After about 24hrs of use I tried to send out a picture, the "Forever alone troll face" to my buddy hehe. I noticed it was stuck in sending. So I re-sent it, still stuck in sending. Restarted, stuck in sending, sent a different pic, now both are stuck in sending. Took a pic of my girlfriend sleeping with her finger in her nose, stuck sending. THESE PICS ARE IMPORTANT!
Anyway I can receive pics no problem but they wont send! I noticed on my GSIII when i had CM10 that this problem popped up too, I have full service and when its on stock, it never has problems with MMS. HELP! Thanks

If you are talking about Bean's rom with aosp mms, that is a mod I did. It comes with a few caveats as its hacked in framework code.
When it gets stuck, you need to long hold the message and forward it. It should go right through at that point. I am surprised he didn't mention that in the thread (or did he?).

I can save items to external SD in OTHER apps if that's what you mean. Like, I have no issues saving attachments from emails. If you're asking if I can change the text message app to default to saving the attachment to my external SD, I'm not quite sure where I'd change that. I don't see anything about where the default save path is in the options menu. And when actually saving the attachment, I don't get to choose where to save it.
I long-press the picture, choose "save attachment" from the menu, select with a checkmark the attachment to save, and then it immediately gives me the error I posted above. Am I doing something wrong here lol?
Doing something wrong? No.
I'll look into it. Is it aosp MMS?

This is a far fetch try, but I noticed this on the charge by accident. Make sure you have the stock messaging app. If not reload it. I deleted the stock messaging app and replaced with gosms on the charge, and the same thing happened. Also if you have the stock messing app, make sure to go into it and check for the auto retrieve (not sure if this will help or not, i've just always done it)
So I emailed the dev. He said to make sure wifi is off, otherwise MMS will not work, which should really be stated in the app or at least the app description on the Play Store somewhere.
